1How this tool boards a script

HeyGen's movie maker plans in words before it draws anything: a scene-by-scene blueprint with characters and a shot list is approved first, and camera moves are directed in plain English. Each character is tied to a persistent identity, beats are rewritten in the editor, and the approved plan renders scene by scene.

What the storyboard comes back as: Written shot plan

Approve the scene by scene plan, characters, and shot list before any footage renders.

How the cast stays the same: Defined cast

Each character is locked to a persistent identity, so the same face, wardrobe, and expressions carry through every shot and angle.
